Here's another Lee Turret fan. I've got the 4-hole model for more than 10 years and never had any trouble with it. As said, great value for the money.

Nature always tells the truth. It's up to us to understand what it is saying.
I use a Redding T7. Absolutely love it

Is it true you can load 22 Hornet on the Lee Turret press. Or do Lee do a rifle turret press too. I use a Lee single stage press as the moment. Sometimes you see the Lee turret presses pretty cheap second hand. It would be useful not having to set up the dies every time, I load 223 as well.
"helplessly they stare at his tracks......."
The Lee Classic turret press is capable of cases up to 3 1/16 (3.0625" or 77.7mm)
I think if you look at the specs most the lee presses are capable of rifle rounds.
I think the Value one is designed for handgun rounds, not sure what the case OAL limit is on it.
Yes, even the Lee Turret is OK with long bullets like the 30-06 and 303 but I have to take the auto index rod out and use it like a single stage as the turret tries to turn before the bullet has fully left the seating die. Not a big issue for the relatively small quantities I load of these cartridges.
Good deals with: Muskett, Dreben, roger.kerry, TALL, Helidave1, Chelseablue, Leeroy7031, Mousemann, pnuk, Practical, NEWFI, HOOGS, Webb22, lazybones1416 and deanw5262 among others. Thanks Guys.
I use a Lee Turret and have been doing so for over 12 years. I've a (unused) Forster press and my lad's Hornady press which is already set up but I see no reason not to keep using the Lee. And I load 500 or so full bore cartridges a month.

I'd go Lee turret for pistol rounds.
If your loading lot pistol rounds make sure get the Lee TC dies, you dont have use lube with them
Thanks for the info and replies all.
I went for a second hand rcbs turret press in the end. I have always liked the shade of green. 😅
Took hold of it yesterday, it’s very well made and is sturdy as hell.
I’ve got a set of Lee carbide dies (3) to go with it.
I’m reading the ABC’s of reloading and there’s a recommendation about getting the Lee factory crimp die. However I’ve read online that people don’t seem to think they are needed, as the Lee die seats they bullet and crimps at the same time.
Could anyone possibly shed light on if a fourth die is really needed?
I’m happy to get one if it is worth it
Thanks.

Thanks for the reply, I think the rcbs turret is similar to the Redding, by the look of it.
